In the heart of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, an intriguing event unfolded as 12 individuals returned to their Hindu roots. Spearheaded by the World Hindu Protection Council, the ceremony at the Gomti Nagar Shiv Temple embraced them back into Hinduism. Adorned with sacred marks, they donned saffron attire and participated in a ritualistic Vedic ceremony, marking a profound return to their ancestral faith.
The diverse stories of these individuals are compelling. Some, entangled in deceitful ties, had converted to Islam under the guise of love, monetary bait, or foreign job promises. Exhausted by relentless manipulation, they found solace and support within the World Hindu Protection Council's fold, leading to their momentous 'homecoming.'
Each Story Unveils Unique Journeys-
Take the tale of Mandvi Sharma from Auraiya, who was renamed Zainab. When her father's drinking problem was supposedly 'cured' by Pir Baba, Meraj Ansari, aka Rudra Sharma, entered the scene. Disguising his real name, Meraj entrapped Mandvi in a web of affection, culminating in marriage and her conversion to Islam as Zainab.
Once converted, Mandvi faced torment and constraints. After three harrowing months, she managed to escape to her parents. However, Meraj, under his alias Rudra Sharma, tracked her down and threatened the family with obscene videos. A confrontation ensued, leading to Meraj's demise.
Meanwhile, a hat-tipped Shahabuddin from Saharanpur presents a distinct narrative. With his home seized, his pleas for help went unanswered. Now, he hopes that embracing Hinduism might reverse his fortunes. As he meandered through prayers at the temple, he mused about abandoning a faith that permits internal torment.
Similarly, another sufferer from Lucknow sheds light on the anguish stemming from forced religious conversion under the guise of love jihad. Her poignant story echoes as she recounts her ordeal. Currently, these individuals are being reintegrated into Hinduism with the World Hindu Protection Council's guidance, under vigilant police presence.
